These ambush hunters are prized by anglers for their aggressive strikes, powerful runs, and impressive size.

Their distinctive elongated body, sharp teeth, and voracious appetite make them a true trophy fish.
Northern Pike Fishing in Thermopolis
If you're targeting Northern Pike near Thermopolis, Wyoming, Boysen Reservoir is your primary destination. This large reservoir offers ample habitat for pike, with plenty of weedy bays, submerged timber, and rocky structures. Spring, right after ice-out, and fall, as the water cools, are the most productive times to target these predators. The pike move into shallower water to spawn in the spring and feed aggressively in the fall. Try using large swimbaits, spoons, or even dead bait rigs. A key local tactic is to focus on the weed edges in the bays, especially early in the morning or late in the evening. The pike in Boysen Reservoir can reach impressive sizes, with some fish exceeding 20 pounds. Be prepared for windy conditions, which are common on the reservoir. Also, remember to use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as pike have very sharp teeth.
